Agreed. His moving of goal posted was absurd, esp. since his video showed
him FAILING at even two, and to get the two he needed to move away from the
idea of having a general purpose machine. Gee, a script for every task...
completely absurd. 

As I noted, the focus on recipes is clearly specific, but it could also be
online receipts (I get those, put notes on them, save them as PDFs, and even
email them - same things) or craft ideas (same thing... I do them all with
those, too), or more. For my videos I did not focus on making specialized
global scripts. No need. Just used my system as it is.

Even for his absurd get 100 I got all of the ones on the home page in under
3 minutes with no changes to my system *other* than adding a program I
already had to my dock, allowing it to update when I opened it, and changing
its default download folder: <https://youtu.be/c65ojXTxynU>.

There have been times I wanted to do more. Years ago when someone in CSMA
was inexplicitly lying about his CSS being valid when it was not (oh no, I
noted he had some bad CSS... the shame... whatever), I did a small amount of
work to prove no example of his CSS (or HTML for that matter) stored in the
WayBackMachine archive validated.

<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/sandmancheck-css.pdf>
<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/sandman/sandmancheck-html-detail.pdf>

Had some other variations, but to really blow Owl's mind, here is one with
the archived site and the CSS and the HTML validation for 114 pages:

<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/sandman/sandman-archive.pdf>

He moved goal posts to try to show his Linux tools as better. Now to some
extent when you start getting to this level of scripting and the like you
get to the point where programming skills matter - and he claims to be a
programmer I believe. But I am not... and still did this with relative ease.

Will be interesting to see how he responses.
